5. For a satellite in an elliptical orbit around the earth, the amount of work done in a short time interval by the gravitational force from the earth on the satellite K) is zero L) is positive when the satellite is getting closer to the earth, and negative when it's getting further from the earth. M) is negative when the satellite is getting closer to the earth, and positive when it's getting further from the earth. N) is positive. 0) is negative.

Please show me how to properly answer this question based on the feedback from the professor.

5. For a satellite in an elliptical orbit around the earth, the amount of work done in a short time interval by the gravitational
force from the earth on the satellite
K) is zero
L) is positive when the satellite is getting closer to the earth, and negativewhen it's getting further from the earth.
M) is negative when the satellite is getting closer to the earth, and positive when it's getting further from the earth.
N) is positive.
0) is negative.
A satellite is or bitting in elliptical path arond the earth at
Some height h a boue the surforce of the earth
